About Bear Ridge Farm
A Thoughtful Approach to Farming
Bear Ridge Farm is the result of years spent learning and caring for animals — and of choosing to grow intentionally over time. I’ve been farming for years, building experience through daily work, seasons of learning, and hands-on responsibility.
Over the past year, Bear Ridge Farm has expanded in scale, guided by careful planning, mentorship, and a commitment to doing things well rather than quickly. This farm exists to reflect a thoughtful approach to growth , one that prioritizes animal welfare, sustainability, and realistic decision-making at every stage.
Experience Shaped by Mentorship
While much of what I share comes from lived experience, Bear Ridge Farm is also shaped by the wisdom of family members who have farmed and cared for animals for generations.
I’m deeply grateful for the perspective, practical guidance, and steady mentorship that continues to inform how this farm evolves. I believe good farming is built through shared knowledge, thoughtful questions, and learning from those who have gone before us.
Trusted Guidance for Farm Life
Farm life involves far more than animals or land. It requires long-term thinking, daily responsibility, and decisions that affect both people and animals over time.
After years of farming — and especially through seasons of growth and change — I’ve learned that the most costly mistakes usually come from rushing, overestimating capacity, or building systems out of order. The most sustainable farms are shaped by clarity, restraint, and steady routines.
That’s why I share what I share here: not as theory, and not as perfection, but as practical guidance rooted in lived experience. My goal is to help others make thoughtful decisions early — decisions that protect their animals, their land, and their family life for the long run.
What You’ll Find Here
